Mumbai: Bollywood actors, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have landed in legal trouble over a Hyundai vehicle allegedly with manufacturing defects.
According to a Bhaskar English report, Kirti Singh, the owner of the faulty Hyundai vehicle and a resident of Bharatpur, Rajasthan has filed an FIR against the actors for endorsing the brand, and six Hyundai officials.
In his complaint, Kirti claimed that he bought the Hyundai Alcazar SUV in 2022 for Rs 23 lakh. However, the vehicle began showing major technical issues within a few months of its purchase.
The complainant further alleged that despite several complaints, the company failed to resolve his problem.
Initially, police had declined to lodge his complaint. However, after he moved the court for police inaction, the Mathura Gate police station registered the case under Sections 420, 406 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, along with sections 312, 318, 316, 61 and 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on August 25.
In his petition, the complainant named Hyundai Motor India’s top executives – Managing Director Anso Kim (registered office Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu), COO Tarun Garg (corporate office Gurugram, Haryana), Malwa Auto Sales Pvt. Ltd. MD Nitin Sharma and Director Priyanka Sharma (Sonipat, Haryana), along with Deepika and Shah Rukh for misleading customers.
